Pelosi Falls Ill in Italy…But there’s more to this story!

ROME (AP) — An Italian news agency says that U.S. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi was hospitalized briefly in Rome with a minor ailment.

Pelosi, a former House speaker, had been scheduled to hold talks with Italian officials, including the defense minister, but the ANSA news agency said she was briefly hospitalized Monday at Rome’s Policlinico and then released.

1. Congress is trying to pass spending cuts and produce a budget for the remainder of 2011 and for 2012……and Nancy is in Italy?

2. Pelosi “had been scheduled to hold talks with Italian officials, including the defense minister”….Why would the House Minority Leader be holding talks with Italian officials….especially the defense minister? What’s there to talk about? What would Pelosi add to any conversation?
